Giro di Burnaby

Local Burnaby cycler Gina Grain takes the prize and trophy, proudly wearing the Giro di Burnaby winner's jersey.




The races were held last night, on Hastings Street in North Burnaby. Quite close to where we stayed last year in April while looking around Vancouver. Here's photos of the set up, womens' and men's races and all in between. Yes, that's me in a gorgeous red Ferrari Spider (click on the photo to enlarge, if you don't believe me)! Just an added bonus of being a trusty volunteer! This was the first bike Criterion race of its kind in Burnaby, and the organizer is already looking forward to the Giro di Burnaby 2007.



Weekend's just getting better. Had a nice paddle out at sea today in Jericho Beach area and we're now going to entertain our friends CZarina and Maarten, with Ad's excellent BBQ talent! Tomorrow, a hike in the vicinity with a rented car for the day, followed by an aperitivo at friends in Kits Point, who have just returned from good times in Italia.

Happy weekend,

Ariane C
